Chateau de Larunque is situated in over 3 hectares of land, part forest, part gardens with a remotely controlled gate leading to a 50 meter drive to the entrance of the property. Inside, a magnificent entrance hall leads to very large dining and living rooms. The living room has separate double doors leading to the very spacious covered dining veranda with beautiful views of the gardens and beyond. Adjoining the living room is the pool room which also has two sets of double doors opening out on to an uncovered veranda which is ideal for sun-bathing. The entrance leads to a wide stair-way to the first floor bedrooms and the theatre. The fully functioning baroque style theatre comprises a stage, royal and orchestral boxes and sufficient seating to accommodate up to 60 guests for your theatrical or musical productions or film screenings. The master bedroom, includes a substantial full length veranda providing a panoramic view of the Pyrenees. A further three spacious bedrooms are on the first floor including a two level mezzanine room which could very easily accommodate four children on both levels. There are three smaller rooms on the second floor serviced by a single bathroom, suitable for children and adults (under 2 metres tall). There is satellite TV, video, DVD (with a collection of over 200 titles), table tennis, darts, BBQ and a selection of indoor and outdoor games. Weekly maid service, fresh linen and all garden and pool maintenance included. Outside, the gardens stretch over 3 hectares including a forest, a bamboo garden, ponds and a professional double tennis court. Tennis rackets and balls are available but if you take your tennis seriously, you will want to bring your own rackets. On the grounds, situated away from the chateau, resides a part time caretaker who is at your disposal for the duration of your stay. The villa is the second home of the owner and therefore has everything needed for a memorable holiday. An idyllic location, overlooking the Pyrenees, Larunque is just three minutes from the great river Ardour and 15 minutes drive from the historic Bayonne (www.bayonne.fr) and the ultra-chic sea-side resort of Biarritz (www.biarritz.fr), which together combine to offer facilities to cater for all possible interests, be they cultural, sporting, shopping, eating out or sight-seeing. Just north of Bayonne, you will discover the endless white beaches of the Landes coast, with some of the best surfing in France. Not to be missed, just 20 minutes south of Biarritz, is the Spanish border leading to the city of San Sebastian with its stunning bay and most enchanting little shops and tapas bars and boasting all the leading department and designer stores.
